The coefficient of static friction for all contact surfaces


Two blocks, each having a mass of 100 kg and resting on a horizontal surface, are to be pushed apart using a 30° wedge, as shown. The coefficient of static friction for all contact surfaces is 0.25. Calculate the vertical force P required to start the wedge and the blocks in motion.
